Singularity Sky (2003) by Charles Stross. Published by Ace Books. Uncorrected proof. Signed by Charles Stross (signature only). Book is Fine condition. Belonging to a new generation of sf authors which came to prominence post-2000, Charles Stross captures perhaps better than anybody else the dizzying times of rapid technological development we live in. Where Accellerando (2005) fleshes out the lives of one family caught in the take-off phase of a technological singularity, Singularity Sky delivers an equally absurd tale of a society that all of a sudden is granted access to matter replication devices.

Review
"If ever science fiction is about new ideas, new technologies, rethinking how the world works in a plausible way based on current technology--Charles Stross is the creme de la creme."
"Charles Stross is unmatched anywhere in the field for audacity, ambition, daring conceptualization, and dazzling brilliance of imagination. Where he goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."
"Fasten your seat belt for the wildest ride in recent memory...Charles Stross owns the cutting edge of science fiction."
"Fasten your seatbelt for the wildest ride in recent memory. Charles Stross owns the cutting edge of science fiction." - James Patrick Kelly, author of Strange But Not a Stranger "Charles Stross...is unmatched anywhere in the field for audacity, ambition, daring conceptualization, and dazzling brilliance of imagination." - Gardner Dozois, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine "If ever science fiction is about new ideas, new technologies, rethinking how the world works in a plausible way based on current technology--[Stross] is the creme de la creme." - Locus "Charles Stross is way hot. Read him now and find out what all the fuss is going to be about." - Michael Swanwick, author of Bones of the Earth
Praise for Charles Stross "A new kind of future requires a new breed of guide--someone like Stross."--Popular Science "The act of creation seems to come easily to Charles Stross...[He] is peerless at dreaming up devices that could conceivably exist in six, sixty, or six hundred years' time."--The New York Times "Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."--Gardner Dozois, Editor, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine "Smart, literate, funny."--#1 New York Times bestselling author Lev Grossman, Time "Much of the action is completely nuts, but Stross manages to ground it in believability through his protagonist's deadpan reactions to both insane office politics and supernatural mayhem."--San Francisco Chronicle
